Battery Recommendation
Remote start systems and electrical accessories place additional demand on your vehicle's battery. For the best performance and reliable cold-weather starting, we recommend upgrading to a high-quality battery—especially if your machine is equipped with accessories like lights, heaters, winches, audio systems, or other electrical loads. We offer a plug-and-play battery upgrade kit that installs in the factory battery location with no modifications required. Check it out HERE.

Excellent plug and play kit
Works great. Easy install.
Great
This system was very easy to install, complete plug and play. I would highly recommend. I had a little difficulty getting the remote to sync, and I emailed customer service, and they even responded and assisted on a weekend! Great service!!
I started in automotive installs back in the 90’s when you had to splice everything in. Reading wiring schematics and praying that you didn’t damage harnesses or ecu’s. Installed one of these kits for a customer of mine and promptly ordered my own. Absolutely no splicing, or guessing! The instructions are fantastic, the kit is phenomenal, and the simplicity of install is fantastic. Most any DIY person could quickly and easily install this remote start kit. Best part is the windshield delay kit is just as good! Definitely recommend these products to my customers and friends!
Great instructions, made installation a breeze. All components seam to be of high quality, and fit the application real well
Winters in Tug Hill NY are cold. The remote starter is a game changer. Push a button, it notifies you in about 10 seconds your machine is running and warming up. Nothing like getting into a warmed up Side by side when it’s sub zero temps. Also, must mention the customer service at Berks is outstanding. Great job.
